Just a few semi formal dresses verses later, he deems her unworthy of being part of the fleet and insists that she go home. "You're unsuited for the rage of war / So pack up, go home, you're through / How could I make a man out of you?" he adds. It's at this point that Mulan could have gone home, reunited with her family, and avoided the war altogether. But her strong-willed nature and perseverance push her to stay, and she proves her worth by climbing to the top of the pole with the weights — "discipline" and "strength" — tied to her arms. She pushes herself to try harder than before and proves that she can — quite literally — pull her weight as well as anyone else. This motivational scene signifies Mulan's personal growth and transition into a warrior, but the moment is made even more powerful by the song lyrics playing as she stumbles with her buckets of water plus size prom dressesand practices that impressive flying kick.

On top of the empowering message within the lyrics, there's also irony in the fact that the hook of the song is "Be a man." The only reason Mulan was afraid to replace her father in the war is because she's a woman, and throughout the song, the lyrics emphasize that traits like "swiftness," "forcefulness," and "strength" are seen as masculine. So, on the surface, Mulan truly becomes "a man" in the eyes of her fellow squadron members by completing her training and living up to the message of the song. As a viewer who knows Mulan's secret, the song signifies that she is just as strong and capable hochzeitsschuhe as the rest of her team.

In addition to undergoing warrior training, Mulan knows that the penalty for being discovered as a woman would be death, yet she remains to fight for her father and for her family's honor, making her even stronger than anyone knows. Ultimately, the song pokes fun at the idea that to be strong is to be "manly" and calls attention to the fact that Mulan is more badass than anyone around.

At the end of the day, "I'll Make a Man Out of You" is the first song that comes to mind when I think of Mulan, and — unlike other earworms — it's always a pleasant surprise when it gets stuck in my head unexpectedly. The song is a celebration of Mulan's courage and strength, and captures all the key aspects of the movie in its humor, message, and timing. Now, please excuse me while I go give this song a listen for the 40sexy evening dresses 0th time, and relive the glorious Mulan scene for yourself here.

we lost a magical being who took the form of a perpetually tiny tabby cat with extra toes, beaming bright green eyes, and a toothless mouth that left her bubblegum-pink tongue hanging out. Her name was Lillian Bubbles, aka Lil Bub, and she was only 8-years old.
Over the past 6 years I’ve been fortunate to have crossed paths a time or two with this marvelous creature and her Dude, Mike Bridavsky. You can read about some of my exploits in Forever Bub and Lil Bub’s Lil Book Review.

But this isn’t about rubbing shoulders with a celebucat, it’s about far more than that. It’s about living in a dark world where a magical being alighted from beyond the reaches of our planet. This being gave us hope for a better world and she even showed us how to make it happen.
